There is nothing directly in front of the patient's face to cause a "closed-in" feeling. Highly claustrophobic patients who were unable to tolerate other MRI scanners, including some "open" MRIs, have traveled hundreds of miles to be scanned in a Stand-UpTM MRI. In addition, the Stand-UpTM MRI is unusually quiet. Patients can comfortably sit and watch their favorite TV program on a big screen TV or listen to comforting music.
While only a doctor can prescribe an MRI, you do have the right to choose where your scan is performed. If your doctor is not familiar with us or has questions, have him or her contact us.
